About your question at Requests for permissions
Hi, I just thought I'd explain your recent question.

Your edit here did not get autoreviewed; the reason for this is that there was two IP edits before hand, which had not been reviewed by anyone. You could not review them as you are not a reviewer. Therefore your autoreview failed to work, as there were already two pending reviews. Basically you hold the "autoreview" right but not the "review" right.

I know this is a bit complicated, but so is the system. But anyway I have reviewed all three edits, if you want me to do so I will review any edits you need. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 21:10, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation, I understand now.
 * The same situation has existed here for a week, in which an anon IP edit has a pending revision before mine. Anachronist (discuss • contribs) 22:16, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Cheers! Yes I've reviewed that as well. For any further reviews please ask. To be honest there's a bit of a backlog, I do some reviewing when time permits, but we need more people doing it really. But I think overall its a good system. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 22:24, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Anachronist (discuss • contribs) 02:20, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

A new proposal
Hi, there is currently a proposal at Wikibooks:Reading room/Proposals for non-admins to be given the ability of    and. Since you’ve been an active user on Wikibooks for the last thirty day, I thought you might join in by giving feedback/opinion or amendments. Thank you so much for your time Synoman Barris (discuss • contribs) 12:52, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

in Template:OpenSCAD Tutorial/example
You wrapped the in Template:OpenSCAD Tutorial/example in. Why? It made the appear in the destination page. Before I revert the change, what problem were you trying to solve? Jordan Brown (discuss • contribs) 15:01, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * As I recall, it was because the page OpenSCAD Tutorial/Chapter 1 kept showing on every example which would be meaningless to any reader. It confused me until I figured out what was causing it. Look at that Chapter 1 page, then remove the from the template and look at it again. The noinclude tag suppressed the odd display while still retaining the Book category attribute. My purpose was to clean up the appearance of the Chapter 1 page. Anachronist (discuss • contribs) 21:24, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Interesting. It definitely worked for me at the time, and now I am seeing exactly that  effect that you describe.  I'm wondering if there is some kind of caching problem in MediaWiki... Jordan Brown (discuss • contribs) 18:27, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Is there any harm done by enclosing the BookCat inside noinclude tags? The OpenSCAD Tutorial/example template still seems to function properly that way - or it seemed that way to me at the time. The only thing BookCat does is include the page in a category, and if it was enclosed by noinclude, the correct category still appeared at the bottom of the page. I may be wrong, but my understanding is that noinclude doesn't suppress the function of the contents it encloses, but suppresses just the display.

Please be aware!
If you change headings and even just capitalization like Version ↦ version this will break the links from the openscad.org/cheatsheet - it is imperative to make the changes there too! Thank you. 2A01:C23:81CC:CB00:49B3:C80F:52C0:B51E (discuss) 21:27, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The cheat sheet is not publicly editable (that I know of) like this Wikibook, and this Wikibook has its own style guidelines to follow. Anachronist (discuss • contribs) 23:23, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
